Municipal District of Lesser Slave River

Lesser Slave Lake shapes much of the Municipal District of Lesser Slave River, its broad shoreline and surrounding boreal forest underpinning recreation as well as forestry, farming and energy activity. The rural district surrounds the Town of Slave Lake on the lake’s southern shore and extends across wetlands, forest and working land. On the north shore, Lesser Slave Lake Provincial Park brings together beaches and forest, while the Lesser Slave Lake Bird Observatory records seasonal bird migration. Treaty 8 was signed at Lesser Slave Lake in 1899, an important marker in the area’s Indigenous and Canadian history.
